Roby game is far better and therefore it allows 1,6 and7 to play there natural game I just shake my head at his poor team selection
It seems to me that Bennett has his (the Aussie) way of playing and reverts to it as a natural tendency even when it’s obvious to most other people that the team that played in the first half against France is the most effective way.
Basically he’s set in his ways and too old to change.
Plan A is the Aussie way and the only time he will consider anything else is if we have to chase the game.
I for one would prefer England to play the open way we did in the first half of the France game, win or lose, but I can’t see Bennett taking the same view.
In short - after we lose in the World Cup, HE HAS TO GO!!!!!!!
